Latency spikes when joining US Instance servers

Today I have tried to do a couple instances, but as soon as I zone it, with an extra long loading screen, my latancy goes mental and spikes above 4000ms. Can’t do anything, and even leaving takes it time.
Is there any issues atm?

Same problem. I was trying to do a tracert but cant find the support page for some reason. Playing from Blackrock.

Same issue. Cannot do instances at all this evening. It’s a world latency issue, same as always happens (at least not often). Everything else is fine and my fiber connection is fast-but not the connection to Blizz servers. Ah well, hopefully tomorrow.

Here I was thinking it was a me problem, but connecting to OCE servers is fine, ping is fine, tracert goes a bit mental offshore… I’ve contacted ISP, checked all my HW Configs, but everything is fine; US Servers aren’t happening.

I thought it was me as well, its super bad at the moment when we connect non OCE servers.

Ok yeah, it’s not just me then. I’m getting absolutely crazy lag in Firelands right now. Some of my actions will happen a full minute after. I had to alt-F4 because I can’t /camp or exit game.

For me this started about 24 hours ago. I haven’t been able to play since then.

Huh, seems like it happened since yesterday. I just found the same issue today. Hugh lag once join a cross realm pug. Can’t even cast any thing.

Plus 10,000 world latency for me trying to do the Radiant Echoes event on a US server. When logging into the oceanic servers, latency is slightly higher than normal, but not this lunacy of 10,000 plus

I just noticed this tonight myself, glad it’s not just me. My latency is usually below 100, but tonight it’s all over the place, and trying to change zones and run dungeons is resulting in frequent disconnects.

Not sure about others but signing into battle.net seems to be taking longer than usual as well for me.

I’m also expereicing crazy lag and MS over 15K

This is happening for me also. No official word on this yet? Literally unplayable joining US realms. 4k MS feels like 40k. Several friends on other sides of Aus getting the same issue.

FWIW, check the NBN for unplanned maintenance - much to my disgust, they are doing yet another unplanned maintenance without warning and that is probably affecting the quality of our connection to everything US based.

Happening to me too. It took a good 2-3 minutes for the server to actually catch me up and I saw almost nothing of the actual dungeon I joined.

I am having the same issue in Zul’jin server. The world is fine, and my home MS is 27, but raid MS is 300+ MS.

OMG its insain, Joined a raid today my ms went from 25ms home 3500 world … they had finished the raid while i was still trying to cast spells at the 2nd boss

I was at 4k+ latency and then 1k and more. Everything was great before 7pm MT… then 2 hrs later I can’t log in, get errors over and over, and then extremely high latency … I’m at 209ms home and 3k world… what is the norm?

Checked mine. Have no maintenance. Nothing scheduled.

Why is there NO assistance on this? Can’t do raid/dungeons… just watching people running all stuck then some movement… just the weirdest stuff. My stream was working fine all day until 9pm? So for the last 4 hours or so … can’t play.
